Mon, 29 Jul 2013 20:28:25 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=488767#comment-542533Man…remember when both and Matt Holliday were free agents and there was clamoring among Cards fans to go after Bay since it was taking so long for Holliday to sign? Remember the many articles saying either/or is fine and the many others afterward that were incredulous that Holliday got $60 million more?

It’s always fun to look back and see how wrong everybody was (myself included). What’s even more fun is looking back and seeing who was right:

Compare [Holliday’s deal] to the Mets’ slightly desperate signing of the market’s other top outfielder, Jason Bay, to a four-year, $66 million contract with an easily attained vesting option for a fifth year. Bay, 31, may be a vaguely better hitter than Holliday right now, but given his much narrower range of skills he’s also a good bet for a quick decline. The Mets will likely wish they were rid of their new prize at some point during this contract. The Cardinals likely won’t.

Mon, 29 Jul 2013 19:24:56 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=488767#comment-542443Still a very smart signing in my opinion. I think more teams not expected to compete should sign these types of players. Maybe Bay has an .800 OPS season and they turn a 1 mil ivestment into a legit prospect. You know by the time it’s time to call the youngsters up anyways. The Astros did the same thing with Pena. Neither worked out, but if they decide to move Ibanez, the gamble payed off.
